"My Shy Violet" by The Mills Brothers

A few days ago I was playing a Mills Brothers best of record and realized what a great song this is.  Then I had it stuck in my head for a couple of days (earworm).  This song was also on the old reel-to-reel tape that Cliff Peterson of the Hi-Fi Shop recorded originally (see my post from 5-Aug-2011).

""Caught A Lite Sneeze" by Tori Amos

Worked at the Utah Pride Festival today as a runner.  It was fascinating experience.  On the way back from a run, a guy came up to my escort and I and wanted to know where the Lost and Found was.  We told him we had no clue and suggested some places to try.  He went into this diatribe that nobody was helping him and insisting we tell him where the Lost and Found was.  I was thinking: what part of "we don't know" don't you understand?

Anyway, the rain poured down a couple of times but stopped.  But towards the end of the night it was like a torrent.  We had to go pick up all of the final packages while it was pouring.  I didn't take a jacket because it was so warm this afternoon.  I was drenched to the skin.

When we were finished I ended up walking a few blocks, it was still raining, to 5th South where the truck was parked.  I had left the windows down a bit, so the inside of the truck was damp.  Oh, yeah, the heater doesn't work :(

I started the truck and this song started playing.  I thought that's perfect, I probably will catch a light sneeze...

"It's My Life" by Dr. Alban

Another "It's My Life" song with very significant lyrics.  Specifically "stop killing me" is very apropo.  The sign I held earlier this evening, at the Dyke, Trans*, Sexually Fluid and Poly Rally! said "STOP KILLING US".

"Going' Nowhere" by Chris Isaak

This morning I was thinking about one of my friends' relationships and how it was going nowhere.  A different thing than what this song is about but it reminded me of it.
